I kid you not. GOP Christians fear the Lord, according to the incredible shrinking Harold Ford. Democratic Christians love and fear the Lord:

My friend Lincoln Davis who chairs our campaign says there are, there’s one big difference between us and misfortunate Republicans when it comes to our faith: he said that Republicans fear the Lord; he said Democrats fear AND love the Lord.

Watch it for yourself. (HT: Powerline which credited Instapundit, which means the political world has seen and absorbed the Ford pratfall.) I think Ford may easily capture the award for the most stunning display of incompetence in the closing two weeks of a senate campaign ever. Other nominees are welcome, but I can’t think of a series of missteps as dramatic as those Ford has committed.

Add to this Michael Fox’s admission that he hasn’t read the initiaitive he endorsed, Michael Steele’s clobbering of bland Ben Cardin on MTP and Debbie Stabenow attacking Michigan businesses that are actually creating jobs, and you get a very good day for the GOP, which is the opening of the very bad week for Dems.
